Description

Heat exchanger
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a heat exchanger provided in a heating or hot water boiler, and more particularly, to a heat exchanger in which a heat medium flow path, a combustion gas flow path, and a combustion gas discharge path are integrally formed by stacking unit plates formed in a predetermined pattern to improve heat transfer efficiency between a heat medium and combustion gas, thereby simplifying the structure.
Background
A boiler for heating or hot water is a device for heating or hot water supply to a desired area by heating water or hot water (hereinafter, collectively referred to as "heat medium") using a heat source, and includes a burner for burning a mixed gas of gas and air and a heat exchanger for transferring combustion heat of the combustion gas to the heat medium.
The boiler produced in the initial stage uses a heat exchanger of a type of heating a heat medium only by sensible heat generated during combustion by a burner, but a recently produced boiler uses a condensing boiler including: a sensible heat exchanger that absorbs sensible heat of combustion gas generated from the combustion chamber, and a latent heat exchanger that absorbs latent heat generated by condensation of water vapor contained in the combustion gas, heat-exchanged in the heat exchanger. The condensing boiler is used not only for gas boilers but also for oil boilers, and thus plays a great role in improving boiler efficiency and reducing fuel costs.
As described above, in the conventional condensing type heat exchanger including the sensible heat exchanger and the latent heat exchanger, the blower, the fuel supply nozzle, and the burner are generally provided at the upper portion of the casing, and the sensible heat exchanger and the latent heat exchanger, in which the heat exchange pins are coupled to the outer sides of the heat exchange tubes, are sequentially provided at the lower side of the burner in the casing.
however, in the above-described condensation type heat exchanger, there is a problem that the volume of the heat exchanger increases due to the structure of the blower located at the upper portion of the casing, and the sensible heat exchanger and the latent heat exchanger located inside the casing in the vertical direction.
In order to solve the above problems while achieving the minimization of volume and the improvement of heat exchange efficiency, korean patent laid-open publication No. 10-1321708, korean patent laid-open publication No. 10-0581578, korean patent laid-open publication No. 10-0813807, etc., as prior art, disclose a heat exchanger in which a burner is centrally located and is composed of heat exchange tubes wound in a coil form around the burner.
Fig. 1 is a sectional view illustrating a heat exchanger of a condensing boiler disclosed in the korean patent laid-open publication No. 10-0813807, and a heat exchanger 40 shown in fig. 1 includes: a burner 10 provided to discharge combustion gas downward; a heat exchange pipe 20 wound in a coil form around the burner 10 to heat water supplied to the inside thereof to a desired temperature by means of heat generated from the burner 10 to provide heating water or hot water; and a membrane 30 provided in a lateral direction below the heat exchange tubes 20 to form a flow path for the combustion gas. The heat exchange tubes 20 are arranged to have a predetermined inclined surface 21 from the outside to the inside of the main body in order to face the center direction of the burner 10, the main body of the membrane 30 is formed with a communication hole 32 to the inside thereof, and connection pipes 33 are provided at one side and the other side to connect the one side and the other side of the heat exchange tubes 20 to each other.
however, in the heat exchanger described in the above prior art document, a twisting phenomenon occurs in the course of spirally processing the heat exchange tubes, and thus there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to process the surfaces of the heat exchange tubes into a uniform shape as a whole.
In addition, since there is a difference in deformation ratio between the inner surface facing the center of the burner and the outer surface opposite thereto in the bending process of the heat exchange tube, there is a risk of breakage in the bending process, and it is difficult to form the heat exchange tube having a large width in which heat exchange with the combustion gas occurs. Therefore, there is a structural limitation that makes it difficult to secure an area for processing a concave-convex pattern that is a structure for further improving the heat transfer efficiency between the heat medium and the combustion gas and for promoting a turbulent flow on the surface of the heat exchange tube.
further, the conventional heat exchanger requires a housing H specially provided for closing the outer periphery of the spirally wound heat exchange tubes 20, thus resulting in a complicated installation structure of the heat exchanger, and has a disadvantage that the heat source of the combustion gas cannot be sufficiently transferred to the heat medium flowing inside the heat exchange tubes 20 because the combustion gas generated at the time of combustion of the burner 10 flows through the space isolated from the upper and lower sides of the heat exchange tubes 20, and is dissipated directly to the outside of the housing H after being transferred to the space between the heat exchange tubes 20 and the inner wall of the housing H.
In the conventional heat exchanger, heat generated during combustion of the burner 10 is transmitted to the plate 11 side to which the burner 10 is fixed, and is overheated, and in order to prevent the above problem, a heat radiation pin needs to be additionally added to the outside of the heat insulating member or the plate 11 side, which causes a problem of a complicated structure and heat loss.
disclosure of Invention
Technical problem
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a heat exchanger including: it is possible to secure a sufficiently large heat transfer area between the heat medium and the combustion gas by forming a long heat medium flow path in a limited space, and in addition, it is possible to promote generation of turbulence in the flow of the combustion gas and to maximize thermal efficiency.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a heat exchanger: the number of components constituting the heat exchanger is reduced and the coupling structure is simplified by integrally forming the heat medium flow path, the combustion gas flow path, and the outer wall structure for closing the outer side surface thereof.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a heat exchanger as follows: the combustion heat of the combustion gas discharged through the combustion gas discharge passage is recovered to the maximum extent by the heat medium, thereby further improving the heat efficiency.
Technical scheme
A heat exchanger of the present invention for achieving the above object is characterized by comprising: an air-fuel mixture inflow portion 100 into which an air-fuel mixture is introduced; a burner 200 for burning the air-fuel mixture flowing in through the air-fuel mixture inflow portion 100; heat exchange units 300 and 400, which are disposed around the burner 200, are formed by stacking a plurality of unit plates one on top of the other, and exchange heat between the combustion gas generated by the combustion of the burner 200 and the heat medium; a combustion gas discharge unit 500 for discharging the combustion gas passing through the heat exchange units 300 and 400; in the plurality of stacked unit plates constituting the heat exchange units 300 and 400, a heat medium flow path P1 and a combustion gas flow path P2 are alternately formed vertically adjacent to each other while being separated from each other, and a combustion gas discharge passage P3 is formed to connect the combustion gas flow path P2 and the combustion gas discharge unit 500.
In this case, the unit plate may be composed of a first plate and a second plate stacked in the vertical direction, and the first plate may be formed with: a first plane part A1 having a first through-hole B1 formed in the center thereof; a first flange portion C1 extending upward from the frame portion of the first plane portion a1 and bent outward; a flow path forming protrusion D1 formed to protrude upward in a region between the frame portion of the first flat surface portion a1 and the first through hole B1; the second plate is formed with: a second flat section a2 having an upper surface closely attached to the bottom surface of the first flat section a1 and a second through hole B2 formed in the center thereof and having a shape corresponding to the shape of the first through hole B1; a second flange part C2 extending downward from the frame part of the second flat part a2 and bent outward, and coupled to the first flange part C1 of the lower unit plate; a flow channel-forming groove D2 formed to be recessed downward in a region between the frame portion of the second flat surface portion a2 and the second through hole B2, and the heat medium flow channel P1 is formed between the flow channel-forming protrusion D1.
The height of the first flange part C1 may be higher than the protruding height of the flow path forming protrusion D1; the second flange portion C2 may have a depth greater than the depth of the recess of the flow channel forming groove D2, so that the combustion gas flow channel P2 is formed in a space spaced apart in the vertical direction between the lower end of the flow channel forming groove D2 of the upper unit plate and the upper end of the flow channel forming protrusion D1 of the lower unit plate in the unit plates arranged adjacent to each other in the vertical direction.
a plurality of interval maintaining protrusions E1 may be formed in the flow path forming protrusion D1 at intervals in the circumferential direction, the interval maintaining protrusions E1 protruding at the same height as the first flange part C1; since the flow channel forming groove D2 has a plurality of pitch maintaining grooves E2 formed at intervals in the circumferential direction and the pitch maintaining grooves E2 are recessed at the same depth as the second flange C2, the lower ends of the pitch maintaining grooves E2 formed in the upper unit plates and the upper ends of the pitch maintaining protrusions E1 formed in the lower unit plates of the unit plates adjacent to each other in the vertical direction are in contact with each other.
A combustion gas exhaust port F1 for providing a combustion gas exhaust passage P3 may be formed in an edge position portion of the first plane portion a 1; a combustion gas outlet F2 is formed at a position corresponding to the combustion gas outlet F1 in the edge position of the second flat portion a2, so that the combustion gas passing through the combustion gas flow path P2 passes through the combustion gas outlets F1 and F2 formed in the respective unit plates arranged in the vertical direction in order to flow to the combustion gas exhaust unit 500.
The flow path forming protrusion D1 or the flow path forming groove D2 may be provided with a turbulent flow forming portion G having a concave-convex shape.
In this case, the protruding upper end and the recessed lower end of the turbulent flow forming portion G may abut each other inside the heat medium flow path P1 and inside the combustion gas flow path P2.
As an example, the flow path forming protrusion D1 may be formed as follows: in a region between the frame portion of the first flat portion a1 and the first through hole B1, the entire section communicates in the circumferential direction; the flow channel forming groove portion D2 may be formed as follows: in a region between the frame portion of the second flat surface portion a2 and the second through hole B2, the entire section communicates in the circumferential direction. Through holes for connecting the heat medium flow paths P1 of the lower unit plate and the heat medium flow paths P1 of the upper unit plate are formed in the pitch maintaining protrusion E1 and the pitch maintaining groove E2, respectively, wherein the through holes are arranged in such a manner that: the direction of the heat medium flow path P1 in the lower unit plate and the direction of the heat medium flow path P1 in the upper unit plate are opposite to each other.
In the unit plates arranged adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, the heat medium flowing in through the through-holes formed in one side of the second plate constituting the lower unit plate may flow while diverging in two directions along the heat medium flow path P1, and then may flow into the heat medium flow path P1 of the upper unit plate through the through-holes formed in the first plate on the other side and the through-holes formed in the second plate constituting the upper unit plate.
As another example, the flow path forming protrusion D1 may be formed as follows: in a region between the frame portion of the first flat portion a1 and the first through hole B1, a part of the section communicates in the circumferential direction, and the flow passage forming groove portion D2 may be formed as follows: in a region between the frame portion of the second flat surface portion a2 and the second through hole B2, a part of the sections communicate with each other in the circumferential direction. Through holes for connecting the heat medium flow paths P1 of the lower unit plate and the heat medium flow paths P1 of the upper unit plate are formed in the pitch maintaining protrusion E1 and the pitch maintaining groove E2, respectively, wherein the through holes are arranged in such a manner that: the direction of the heat medium flow path P1 in the lower unit plate and the direction of the heat medium flow path P1 in the upper unit plate are opposite to each other.
in the unit plates arranged adjacently in the vertical direction, the heat medium flowing in through-holes formed in one side of the second plate constituting the lower unit plate can flow in one direction along the heat medium flow path P1, and then flow into the heat medium flow path P1 of the upper unit plate through the through-holes formed in the first plate on the other side and the through-holes formed in the second plate constituting the upper unit plate.
In the above embodiment, the unit plates may be stacked so that the heat medium flow paths P1 are arranged in a plurality of rows.
The heat exchange portion 300, 400 may include: a sensible heat exchange part 300 for absorbing sensible heat of the combustion gas generated by the combustion of the burner 200; a latent heat exchange part 400 for absorbing latent heat of water vapor contained in the combustion gas after heat exchange in the sensible heat exchange part 300 is completed; a heat insulating part 390 for spatially separating the sensible heat exchange part 300 and the latent heat exchange part 400 is provided between the sensible heat exchange part 300 and the latent heat exchange part 400, and combustion gas generated by combustion of the burner 200 flows in a radial outer direction through the combustion gas flow path P2 of the sensible heat exchange part 300, flows in a radial inner direction through the combustion gas flow path P2 of the latent heat exchange part 400 after passing through the combustion gas exhaust path P3, and is exhausted through the combustion gas exhaust part 500.
The heat insulating part 390 may be formed by filling a heat medium between an upper baffle 390a and a lower baffle 390b stacked in the vertical direction, and stacking a heat insulator 390c on the upper baffle 390 a.
the unit plates may be arranged in a polygonal, circular or elliptical shape around the burner 200.
Around the upper side of the burner 200 may be formed: the connection flow path P is connected to the heat medium flow path P1 located at the upper portion and allows the heat medium to pass therethrough.
Advantageous effects
According to the heat exchanger according to the present invention, the heat medium flow path and the combustion gas flow path, which are alternately arranged adjacent to each other while being separated from each other, are formed in the inner space thereof by laminating the plurality of unit plates manufactured in the similar pattern, and the flow path of the long heat medium is formed to the maximum extent in the defined space, and the turbulence generating portion for promoting the generation of the turbulence in the flows of the heat medium and the combustion gas is formed in the large area of the surface of the unit plate, so that the heat efficiency can be maximized.
further, according to the present invention, since the heat medium flow path and the combustion gas flow path are formed in the heat exchange portion formed by stacking the plurality of unit plates and the outer wall structure for closing the outer side surface through which the combustion gas passes is integrally formed, the number of components constituting the heat exchanger can be reduced, and therefore, the installation structure can be simplified and the heat of the combustion gas transferred to the outer wall of the integral structure can be transferred to the heat medium again by the conduction method, and the thermal efficiency can be further improved.
Further, by stacking a plurality of unit plates in a multiple manner and configuring the heat medium flow paths in a multiple parallel manner, it is possible to minimize pressure loss without requiring a special connection member, and a portion for connecting the heat medium flow paths can be applied as a heat exchange area.
further, by welding the heat medium flow path and the combustion gas flow path with the shapes for forming turbulence in contact with each other, deformation of the cell plate due to the pressure of the heat medium can be prevented, and the pressure resistance can be improved.
Further, since the heat medium flow path and the combustion gas are configured to be connected to each other in the unit plates, heat exchange can be performed by the entire unit plates, thereby further improving heat exchange efficiency.
Further, a flow path through which the heat medium passes may be formed in the upper side surface portion of the burner, so that overheating of the burner support plate may be prevented and thermal efficiency may be further improved.
Further, the heat insulating portion located between the sensible heat exchange portion and the latent heat exchange portion may be configured such that the heat medium can pass through the space between the plates, thereby improving the heat insulating efficiency between the sensible heat exchange portion and the latent heat exchange portion.

The structure and operation of the sensible heat exchange unit 300 and the latent heat exchange unit 400 of the heat exchange units 300 and 400, which are characteristic components of the present invention, will be described below.
the present invention is characterized in that a heat medium flow path P1, a combustion gas flow path P2, and a combustion gas discharge path P3 are formed in the plurality of unit plates 310, 320, 330, 340, 350, 360, 370, 380, 390, 410, 420, 430, and 440, which constitute the heat exchange units 300 and 400 and are stacked one on top of the other.
Referring to fig. 5, 8, 9, 13 and 14, the sensible heat exchange unit 300 is formed by stacking a plurality of unit plates 310, 320, 330, 340, 350, 360, 370 and 380 up and down, and the latent heat exchange unit 400 is formed by stacking a plurality of unit plates 410, 420, 430 and 440 up and down. And, a heat insulating part 390 is provided between the sensible heat exchange part 300 and the latent heat exchange part 400, the heat insulating part 390 being used to spatially separate the sensible heat exchange part 300 and the latent heat exchange part 400 and to block sensible heat generated from the sensible heat exchange part 300 from being directly transferred to the latent heat exchange part 400.
The unit plates 310, 320, 330, 340, 350, 360, 370, 380 constituting the sensible heat exchange part 300 include: a first plate 310a, 320a, 330a, 340a, 350a, 360a, 370a, 380a positioned at an upper portion and a second plate 310b, 320b, 330b, 340b, 350b, 360b, 370b, 380b coupled to a lower portion thereof, respectively.
the unit plates 410, 420, 430, 440 constituting the latent heat exchange portion 400 include: first plates 410a, 420a, 430a, and 440a positioned at the upper portion and second plates 410b, 420b, 430b, and 440b coupled to the lower portion thereof, respectively, have a laminated structure having a similar form to the sensible heat exchange part 300.
The first plates 310a, 320a, 330a, 340a, 350a, 360a, 370a, and 380a constituting the sensible heat exchange part 300 and the first plates 410a, 420a, 430a, and 440a constituting the latent heat exchange part 400 are formed of patterns of similar forms, and thus, hereinafter, collectively referred to as "first plates"; since the second plates 310b, 320b, 330b, 340b, 350b, 360b, 370b, and 380b constituting the sensible heat exchange unit 300 and the second plates 410b, 420b, 430b, and 440b constituting the latent heat exchange unit 400 are formed of patterns having similar shapes, the structures thereof will be collectively described as "second plates" hereinafter.
The first plate is formed with: a first plane part A1 having a first through-hole B1 formed in the center thereof; a first flange portion C1 extending upward from the frame portion of the first plane portion a1 and bent outward; a flow path forming protrusion D1 protruding upward in a region between the frame portion of the first flat surface portion a1 and the first through hole B1; the combustion gas outlet F1 extends vertically through the edge of the first flat section a1 to provide a combustion gas discharge passage P3.
The second plate is formed with: a second flat section a2 having a second through-hole B2 formed in the center thereof and corresponding to the first through-hole B1, and having an upper surface in close contact with the bottom surface of the first flat section a 1; a second flange part C2 extending downward from the frame part of the second flat part a2 and bent outward, and coupled to the first flange part C1 of the lower unit plate; a flow channel forming groove portion D2 recessed downward in a region between the frame portion of the second flat surface portion a2 and the second through hole B2, and forming a heat medium flow channel P1 with the flow channel forming protrusion portion D1; the combustion gas outlet F2 extends vertically through the edge of the second flat surface a2 to provide a combustion gas discharge passage P3.
The first flange portion C1 is formed to be higher than the protruding height of the flow path forming protrusion D1, and the second flange portion C2 is formed to be deeper than the recessed depth of the flow path forming groove D2. Therefore, in the unit plates stacked adjacently in the upper direction, a space is formed between the lower end of the flow passage forming groove D2 of the upper unit plate and the upper end of the flow passage forming protrusion D1 of the lower unit plate so as to form the combustion gas flow passage P2.
Further, a plurality of pitch maintaining protrusions E1 protruding at the same height as the first flange C1 are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction in the flow path forming protrusion D1, and a plurality of pitch maintaining grooves E2 recessed at the same depth as the second flange C2 are formed in the flow path forming groove D2. Therefore, among the unit plates stacked adjacently in the vertical direction, the second flange portion C2 formed in the upper unit plate is coupled to the first flange portion C1 formed in the lower unit plate, and the lower end of the interval-maintaining groove portion E2 formed in the upper unit plate and the upper end of the interval-maintaining protrusion E1 formed in the lower unit plate are supported in contact with each other.
As described above, the upper second flange portion C2 is coupled to the lower first flange portion C1, the upper pitch-maintaining groove portion E2 is supported in contact with the lower pitch-maintaining groove portion E1, and the combustion gas exhaust ports F1 and F2 communicating in the vertical direction are formed in the frame portions of the first and second plates, so that the heat medium flow path P1, the combustion gas flow path P2, and the combustion gas exhaust path P3 are integrally formed inside the unit plates stacked adjacent to each other in the vertical direction when the unit plates are stacked, whereby the coupling strength between the unit plates can be improved.
Either one or both of the flow path forming protrusion D1 and the flow path forming groove D2 may include a turbulent flow forming portion G having a concave-convex shape. The turbulence forming portion G may be formed on the surfaces of the flow passage forming protrusion portion D1 and the flow passage forming groove portion D2 so as to protrude outward or be recessed inward, and may have various forms such as an embossed form, an oval form, or a rib form inclined to one side.
According to the structure of the turbulent flow forming portion G, the generation of turbulent flow is promoted in the flow of the heat medium passing through the heat medium flow path P1 and the flow of the combustion gas passing through the combustion gas flow path P2, and the heat exchange efficiency can be improved.
in the case where the turbulent flow forming portion G is formed, the flow path forming protrusion portion D1 of the first plate may be formed to be recessed downward and the flow path forming groove portion D2 of the second plate may be formed to be protruded upward, so that the lower end of the turbulent flow forming portion recessed downward and the upper end of the turbulent flow forming portion protruded upward are brought into contact with each other, and in this case, the bonding strength between the flow path forming protrusion portion D1 and the flow path forming groove portion D2 may be increased, and thus the flow path forming protrusion portion D1 and the flow path forming groove portion D2 may be prevented from being deformed and damaged by the pressure of the heat medium passing through the heat medium flow path P1.
The spiral heat exchange tube according to the related art has a problem of tube deformation and breakage accompanying bending of the tube, and therefore, there is a structural limitation that an area of the heat exchange tube in the uneven form for promoting a turbulent flow is not sufficiently secured for processing the surface of the heat exchange tube.
The flow path of the combustion gas and the flow path of the heat medium in the heat exchanger according to the present invention are explained below.
first, the flow path of the combustion gas will be described.
referring to fig. 6 and 8 to 11, the combustion gas generated by the combustion of the burner 200 flows in the vertical direction, is blocked by the upper cover plate 110 and the heat insulating part 390, flows radially outward around the burner 200, passes through the combustion gas flow path P2 formed in the unit plates 310, 320, 330, 340, 350, 360, 370, and 380 constituting the sensible heat exchange part 300, and in the process, transfers heat to the heat medium passing through the heat medium flow path P1 of the sensible heat exchange part 300.
In the process of flowing through the combustion gas flow path P2, the generation of turbulence in the flow of the combustion gas and the heat medium is promoted by the turbulence-forming portions G formed in the flow path-forming protrusions D1 and the flow path-forming grooves D2, and therefore the heat transfer efficiency before the combustion gas and the heat medium can be improved.
The combustion gas passing through the combustion gas flow path P2 sequentially passes through the combustion gas exhaust path P3 and moves downward, and the combustion gas exhaust path P3 is vertically communicated with each other through combustion gas exhaust ports F1 and F2 formed in the unit plates 310, 320, 330, 340, 350, 360, 370, 380, 390, 410, 420, 430, and 440, which are stacked in the vertical direction. At this time, in the process where the combustion gas passes through the combustion gas exhaust passageway P3, the heat transferred to the outer wall of the combustion gas exhaust passageway P3 is transferred again to the heat medium passing through the heat medium flow path P1 by passing through the flat portions a1, a2, the flow path forming protrusion D1 and the flow path forming groove D2 by conduction, so that it is possible to minimize heat loss and further improve heat efficiency.
thereafter, the downward movement of the combustion gas entering the combustion gas discharge passage P3 of the latent heat exchange unit 400 is blocked by the lower cover plate 510, and flows to the inside of the latent heat exchange unit 400 through the combustion gas flow path P2 formed in the unit plates 410, 420, 430, 440 constituting the latent heat exchange unit 400, during which the latent heat of the condensed water contained in the water vapor of the combustion gas is transferred to the heat medium passing through the heat medium flow path P1 of the latent heat exchange unit 400 to preheat the heat medium. In the process in which the combustion gas passes through the combustion gas flow path P2 of the latent heat exchange portion 400, the generation of turbulence in the flow of the combustion gas and the heat medium is promoted by the turbulence forming portions G formed in the flow path forming protrusions D1 and the flow path forming grooves D2, so that the recovery rate of latent heat can be improved.
The combustion gas passing through the combustion gas flow path P2 of the latent heat exchange unit 400 is discharged upward through the combustion gas discharge pipe 520 and the flue 530, and the condensed water is discharged downward through the condensed water discharge pipe 513 connected to the lower portion of the combustion gas discharge pipe 520.
The flow path of the heat medium will be described below.
The flow path of the heat medium is configured as follows: flows into the latent heat exchange part 400 through the heat medium inflow pipe 512 connected to the lower portion of the latent heat exchange part 400, and absorbs latent heat and sensible heat through the latent heat exchange part 400 and the sensible heat exchange part 300 in sequence, and is then discharged through the heat medium discharge pipe 112 connected to the upper portion of the sensible heat exchange part 300.
First, an embodiment of a flow path of the heat medium will be described with reference to fig. 5, 7, 12, 13, and 14.

As a configuration for achieving this, the flow passage forming protrusion D1 is formed so as to communicate with the entire section in the circumferential direction in the region between the frame portion of the first flat portion a1 and the first through hole B1, the flow passage forming groove D2 is formed so as to communicate with the entire section in the circumferential direction in the region between the frame portion of the second flat portion a2 and the second through hole B2, through holes for connecting the heat medium flow passage P1 of the lower unit plate and the heat medium flow passage P1 of the upper unit plate are formed in the space maintaining protrusion E1 and the space maintaining groove E2, respectively, and the through holes may be arranged so that the direction of the heat medium flow passage P1 of the lower unit plate and the direction of the heat medium flow passage P1 of the upper unit plate are opposite to each other.

Referring to fig. 16 and 17, a part of the heat medium flowing into the heat medium flow paths P1 of the cell plates 480 through the through holes 483 formed in the second plate 480b of the lowermost cell plate 480 passes through the through holes 482 formed in the first plate 480a and the through holes 473 formed in the second plate 470b of the upper cell plate 470 and flows into the heat medium flow paths P1 inside the cell plates 470, and the remaining part of the heat medium flowing into the heat medium flow paths P1 of the cell plates 480 flows in one direction (counterclockwise when viewed from the plane) along the heat medium flow paths P1 with reference to the through holes 483 and then flows into the heat medium flow paths P1 inside the cell plates 470 through the through holes 481 formed in the first plate 480a on the other side and the through holes 472 formed in the second plate 470b of the upper cell plate 470.
The heat medium flowing into the heat medium flow path P1 of the cell plate 470 flows in one direction (counterclockwise when viewed from the plane) along the heat medium flow path P1 with the through hole 473 as the reference, and then flows into the heat medium flow path P1 inside the cell plate 460 through the through hole 471 formed in the first plate 470a located on the other side and the through hole 463 formed in the second plate 460b of the stacked upper cell plate 460.
A part of the heat medium flowing into the heat medium flow path P1 in the cell plate 460 through the through-port 463 passes through the through-port 461 formed in the first plate 460a and the through-port 452 formed in the second plate 450b of the upper cell plate 450 and flows into the heat medium flow path P1 in the cell plate 450, and the remaining part of the heat medium flowing into the heat medium flow path P1 of the cell plate 460 flows in the other direction (clockwise direction in plan view) along the heat medium flow path P1 with reference to the through-port 463, and then flows into the heat medium flow path P1 in the cell plate 450 through the through-port 462 formed in the first plate 460a on the other side and the through-port 453 formed in the second plate 450b of the upper cell plate 450.
The heat medium flowing into the heat medium flow path P1 of the unit plate 450 flows in the other direction (clockwise direction in plan view) along the heat medium flow path P1 with the through-hole 452 as a reference, and then flows into the heat medium flow path of the unit plate (not shown) located above the through-hole 451 formed in the first plate 450a located on the other side.
As described above, the present embodiment is configured in the following manner: in the lower unit plates 480, 470, the heat medium flows in one direction (counterclockwise when viewed in plan) along the heat medium flow path P1; in the upper unit plates 460 and 450, the heat medium flows in the other direction (clockwise direction when viewed in plan) along the heat medium flow path P1. Thus, the flow path can be formed longer by alternately changing the flow direction of the heat medium. The unit plates 450, 460, 470, and 480 illustrated in the present embodiment may be stacked in units of a plurality of sets to form the heat exchange units 300 and 400.
As shown in fig. 18, the heat insulating part 390 may be configured as follows: the heat medium is filled between the upper baffle 390a and the lower baffle 390b stacked in the vertical direction, and the heat insulator 390c is stacked on the upper baffle 390a, thereby preventing the combustion heat generated from the sensible heat exchange unit 300 from being transferred to the latent heat exchange unit 400. In this case, the heat medium may be filled between the upper baffle 390a and the lower baffle 390b to perform a heat insulation function, and thus the heat insulator 390c may be selectively used as needed.
In the above embodiment, the case where the unit plates constituting the heat exchange portions 300 and 400 are formed in a quadrangular shape along the periphery of the combustor 200 has been described as an example, but the unit plates may be formed in a polygonal shape such as a pentagonal shape other than a quadrangular shape, or an elliptical shape, and the unit plates 610, 620, 630, 640, and 650 may be arranged in a circular shape as shown in fig. 19 and 20.
In addition, as shown in fig. 20, around the upper side of the burner 200, there may be additionally formed: the connection flow path P is connected to the heat medium flow path P1 located at the upper portion, and allows the heat medium to pass therethrough.
according to the configuration of the heat medium connecting flow path P, overheating of the burner supporting plate caused by combustion heat transferred through the upper portion of the burner 200 can be prevented, and since the combustion heat of the combustion gas is absorbed by the heat medium passing through the heat medium connecting flow path P, thermal insulation and thermal efficiency can be further improved.
In the above embodiment, the condensing type heat exchanger in which the heat exchange portions 300 and 400 are composed of the sensible heat exchange portion 300 and the latent heat exchange portion 400 is described as an example, but the heat exchanger of the present invention can be obviously applied to a general heat exchanger in which heat exchange is performed only by using sensible heat of combustion, in addition to the condensing type.
as described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and a person having ordinary knowledge in the art to which the present invention pertains can perform a modified implementation that is obvious without departing from the technical idea of the present invention claimed in the claims, and such modified implementation falls within the scope of the present invention.
